Inspiration Tuesday #4

I am posting this a little sooner because it's making me bounce around uncontrollably.

Music is a huge part of my work. I've said it many times before, how music is so essential to setting a mood in any of my trailers. And so it'll come as no surprise that I listen to a lot of it and different kinds. I thoroughly enjoy every type of music but there's few times that I find those gems. Those breathtaking pieces of music that make me weep. Literally.

Have you heard of Adele?

Well you should.

She's brilliant. That is all I can say. Her music and lyrics are what we'll one day consider classic. Purely amazing.

Her latest single "Rolling in the Deep" is one I cannot for the life of my stop listening to. And when I saw her video (below) you'll see why I am even more in love with her. An artist's fantasy, guys. An artist' wet dream!

For the music part of blog tomorrow/Wed, stay tuned for a song that will make you weep!

Music Time!

I LOVE Jason Mraz!

In fact I loved him way before his album had come out. Fell in love with this song:



But I recently came across this song too. An EP that i download that is sooo amazing!



ENJOY!!

5 Songs I Can't Stop Listening To

I am a song fanatic. Since I work so closely with music for the trailers anyways I have become to appreciate it and even crave it even more. And because I listen to so much music in my personal life and have to go through so much music for my work life I have come to love a very wide variety of music.

Here's my top 5 songs that are on repeat and that have served as great inspiration in my work.

Can't stop listening to this song. It's got such beautiful harmony and such angst. *sigh*

This is such a good angry-makes-you-feel-better-song. Plus I love the way it was shot. It's by far the most rockish song I listen to. But it's good.

This song is just addicting. Nuff said.

This is just so beautiful. In the right circumstances, it's made me cry.

This song is #1 in my books, forever. Why? It's soulful and passionate and the lyrics are beyond perfect. It moves so freely and just makes you sway and close yours eyes and you feel the music. I mean REALLY feel it.

OK and for good measure I am adding a song that I've been listening to recently that reminds me of a scene I shot for a project. I'm looking at you Cassandra Clare.

"Drop everything now

Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile "
